We all have different reasons, but what I'm looking at now--or about to--is how I actually feel about it. Putting that down in black and white is kinda scary.ByJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540902996183063666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068162.post-24347396590849929932007-05-14T20:46:00.000-07:002007-05-14T20:46:00.000-07:00Hi Jane,I can relate to your story of how chidren ...Hi Jane,<BR/><BR/>I can relate to your story of how chidren *don't* happen. My first marriage lasted briefly a year. My second one, about eight years (although if you ask him, it was over at less than five...hmmm, what happened to all those other years we were living together???) I always believed that I didn't want children if there wasn't going to be the right man to be the father. I'd seen my mother go thru terrible humiliation, and cling to me so bad that I felt she should sometimes be called "S'Mother." I never wanted that. Call it bad role models and inability to choose the right mate, coupled with time going by and *bam!* No kids happens...<BR/><BR/>It's nice, however, knowing I'm not alone...Tish Grierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657229618222899908noreply@blogger.com
